I was feeling a little down about world events and worried about the future for our children and then saw this and immediately was blessed to see such great kids my own will grow up with in this world. There’s. Good. People. Still. God is still on the throne! Loved this one, Megan.

Great video! I just can't believe Miller is already 2 years old. I remember him being born! And now you're having another boy....how exciting! Your days are filled with such joy and you set a wonderful example of how to truly enjoy motherhood, being a wife and homemaker. Thank you for sharing!

[@joannafoster3423]

The quality of your videos is stellar! The beauty and content. God bless!

[@cindykaye3152]

I'm in a trying season, dealing with serious health issues but still being a single mom to two busy teens. Your videos give me such peace. It fills my heart with joy to see your beautiful family together, loving & supporting each other. You are such an amazing mom & Josh is a wonderful father! Thank you so much for sharing your life & wisdom with us! Happy birthday blessings to Miller!! 🎉Sending prayers for so much joy these next few months of celebration. And especially a healthy, easy delivery of your precious baby boy! God bless!!!

[@MeganFoxUnlocked]

Aww so sorry about your health trials! Praying for improvement and so glad I could help in some way!

[@Sammiejammie521]

I love the intros to your videos lately ❤ so peaceful

[@MeganFoxUnlocked]

Thank you so much!! it takes work but I consider it art!

[@Sammiejammie521]

@@MeganFoxUnlocked it 100% is. Not everyone has an eye for those moments to be captured, and the proper music really sets the mood. 👍🏼 keep it up

[@carolberubee]

Megan, thank you for actually being a Mom to your kids. I didn't have that growing up, so it does my heart good to see you playing with kids as well as teaching them. Love Miller's reaction to the frosting covered truck. lol

[@dianecervantes9095]

That was a great video. He’s so cute. You have adorable children. Y’all have a blessed Thursday night.❤

[@cindywaldrop4287]

Fletcher raking leaves! Sweet boy is getting so big! Happy birthday Miller! Love to all the Foxes!

[@janelleburkholder6324]

Totally get having applesauce with your chocolate cake with peanut butter icing! And it's got to be peanut butter icing! 😀 I grew up with that tradition. Although the jury is out on needing to pour the applesauce on top! I like it better on the side, but my father faithfully puts it on top of his cake!

[@MeganFoxUnlocked]

It's definitely a Mennonite thing!

[@nancydoub6581]

Always uplifting Always fun Always enjoy your meal choices…….Hobo Packets!! That is definitely happening this week!! Perfect for Wednesday evening when Christmas Choir Rehearsal happens!! Thanks Megan for living your faith in such a lovely way!!

[@cherylbertolini3140]

Happy Birthday Miller

[@hopkinsj1000]

Megan, your videos have become so entertaining! Thanks for providing interesting content with overlay of voice. It captivates the audience. Kudos to a family of 5 soon to be 6. What beautiful healthy memories.

[@MeganFoxUnlocked]

Thanks for the feedback. Wasn't sure how this one would be received!

[@brookep1043]

Your intro and outro videos so precious. Made me teary❤️ love your videos and your example so much

[@ashikalanser9033]

The description of the mocha here is pure poetry. ❤

[@elizabethgale7353]

We cut and peel apples and freeze them in gallon bags, during the winter I just take out a bag and put them in the crock pot in the morning, and then when my daughter got home from school warm apple sauce was ready. We have it on oatmeal the rest of the week. No sugar needed.

[@gloriamedina6908]

Awesome video. Just have to say you in your Inherit dress is so cute with the baby bump.

[@MeganFoxUnlocked]

Thank you so much

[@neliajohnson9023]

What a fun week! Happy Birthday to Miller.🥳 I agree, the 3’s were more emotional than the 2’s for my kids.

[@CBA-kc9rc]

I love, love, love all your vlogs. You always restore the hope in me, that there are still good people out there and most importantly those who love and serve our Lord. Keep up your good work. Blessings for you and your loved ones. Greetings from Germany, Claudia.

[@melaniesnyder9165]

I have a tip for anyone who doesn't have time to make homemade applesauce. 😁 My mama would put a jar of unsweetened applesauce in a pot Sunday morning and a peeled sliced apple, brown sugar, and cinnamon. She would let it cook while the rest of breakfast cooked and then take a potatoes masher to it to break the apple into chunks. It tasted homemade and she only had to cut 1 or 2 apples depending on the amount she made that morning.

[@sarahrking]

This was one of my favorite videos you’ve ever made. Beautiful and encouraging going into this very special season. Lots of love to your family!❤ And happy birthday, Miller! 🎉

[@kassieselby9606]

This is my favorite kind of video you create! Good, simple home making and family time.

[@kate_700]

I’ve been loving your video intros lately, Megan. 😊

[@WBCRO]

Your videos bring such joy - it’s just so beautiful to see a loving, nurturing family. I love your birthday traditions - they’re dependable threads woven into your family’s tapestry of memories.

Happy Birthday, Miller🎈🎈

[@randa4m]

I am rewatching this video but I love how you share your birthday traditions. My mom always made me a cake for my birthday so I want to continue that with my kiddos.

[@WandaPeterson-zv1hx]

Megan you always put so much care into making your videos, And it is appreciated and stands from those who mechanically put something together, they are genuine and heartfelt, even when you must be tired. Thank You for sharing so much with so many..🙏😊♥️

[@MeganFoxUnlocked]

Thank you for noticing! I pour myself into them and then it stinks when they're doing 10/10 but they can't all be on top I guess!

[@Cherokeefit]

I love that fall picture!!!!!!!!!

[@peachfountain]

Lovely intro! Very inspired

[@MeganFoxUnlocked]

I was having fun with my outro, and then I loved it so much I decided to recycle it for the intro too!

[@danneeley7248]

Such a beautiful video. What a glorious life giving experience to view! Thank you

[@lindadeister819]

I like the happy birthday song and candle at every meal. Stretches out the celebration for sure.🎉🎉🎉 🎂

[@PattisLupusJourney]

I love how refreshing your videos are and a great reminder of enjoying all the moments vs stressing over it all. Joy in every step. Unrelated do you have a link to your dinning room light

[@sherylstretcher1973]

Oh, what a fun video! I enjoyed watching your entire family enjoying the wonder of the season together. I grew up in Ohio, and raking and then jumping into the fall leaf pile was so, so fun! I now live in Texas, so thanks for bringing back memories of a much-anticipated annual activity while growing up. Also, happy birthday to Miller! It was sweet of you to bring us along for part of his celebration.

[@janicebone6191]

Megan, what a heartfelt and wonderful video. Just what we needed in these times. God Bless With love from Cornwall, UK xx

[@bethanytaylor7656]

Birthday traditions! We do a balloon arch when it’s not too busy!

[@carolwhisenhunt7504]

This was great Megan. Good tips. I've been thinking and praying about being in the moment and this just brought it home. I'm gonna slow down and enjoy the moment. Ty

[@sydneygray783]

Favorite KZbinr ❤

[@bethanytaylor7656]

So many good reminders in this video. I really enjoyed this! Do you ever get in a rut and feel uninspired and unmotivated? What do you do to snap out of it? I really love your priority and planning for friendships!

[@themissdior1235]

Loved it . I know i dont have to tell you but everyone enjoy your little ones as they grow up so quickly. I now have young grand children, girls, and i look at them how they are growing and ask myself each time i see them " when did that happen" Children are such a joy . Thank you Megan for sharing your life I do enjoy all of it lol love from Scotland x

[@amykolstee5212]

Happy Birthday to Miller, hard to belive He is 2 already! Fun video as always, I love the beginning and ending with the whole family enjoying the leaves!!!! The music with it is perfect, too.

[@Dana-mb1hd]

Megan❤ thank you for making house work so much more enjoyable! I ordered your payson shacket from inherit and can’t wait to receive it! ❤

[@MeganFoxUnlocked]

oh that will be fun!

[@jukes243]

I made (chunky) applesauce once. It was wonderful, but a lot of (messy) work. If I had an apple tree, I would continue making it, but since I don't, I'll just buy it at the store. Much easier and good enough for me. Happy Birthday! Miller.

[@NitaPressley-ds7fe]

Beautiful dress and cap. And your daughters hair covering is amazing.

[@carolejohnston7241]

Thank you Megan. You are truly blessed with a wonderful Family! Love how your children are always included.😊

[@mariainct8514]

I love apple season! Baked apples, apple bread, apple crisp, hot apple cider. Mmm. My sister used to make apple butter every year from an apple tree in her yard, but she moved. Oh well. Maybe ill get some at a local orchard this year. Your children are sooo precious. Love your channel. 🍎🍁🍎🍁

[@CasadeCalderon2323]

Im truly enjoying your channel and videos, every one of them remind me to stop and enjoy 'Golden Hour' You are so encouraging sharing good info for us women who are desiring to have a more cohesive home while serving our spouses, kids and The Lord. The fashion and your style has inspired me and I'm already a fan of all of the boutiques! Yay!❤

[@Krista_Rose7]

The face I just made when you said what Josh does with the applesauce! 😳😫

[@MeganFoxUnlocked]

I knoooowww! I think it's a Mennonite thing.

[@juliecahill7550]

Nice to see children playing in piles of leaves and parents praying with their children. Keep up with that good parenting.

[@msyz_8353]

Watching you from Vienna, Austria (originally from Toronto, currently living here). Love all your videos! They are always full of genuine love for everyone around you, appreciation for the world you're living in and integrity. Thank you for doing what you do 🤗 It makes our days a little brighter 🤗

[@helenbell1988]

You always decorate your home so beautifully!! Your blanket should have arrived at your P.0 box so I hope you get chance to collect it ❤

[@MeganFoxUnlocked]

Helen it is so beautiful! It actually appears in my next video! What is your instagram handle??

[@helenbell1988]

I have replied twice but it’s not showing up on my end so I will try again .., it’s Helen.Tolley xx( my maiden name ) I am so glad it got to you ok. ❤

[@brendasmith6992]

Wonderful video as always! I love all the suggestions you made. I am so glad you got to spend that time with your Mom and sisters. Thank you for sharing with us.

[@baf814]

I love homemade applesauce and have no problem serving it to guests. It is a side condiment alongside turkey, ham, chicken, pork chops. God's bounty.

[@gwenmurillo1093]

What a lovely video. Thanks for the supper idea!

[@sarahspitzfaden]

This is such a beautiful peak into your life and thank you for such a loving “pep” talk as we enter this coming season. Your perspective on motherhood and homemaking is so uplifting. Wishing you and your family many blessings 🙏🏻

[@lindasmialek6341]

Wonderful family video! Happy Birthday Miller!🎈🎈🎈

[@Emmy9932]

Happy Birthday Miller!!❤ That cake was so cute. I love the idea of talking with your family unit on what's important to them. Love a good tradition. Great video, thank you as always for your time and effort.

[@cristinalancia8920]

Loved this one... Lots of cozy fall sensations plus quality relationships with agape love. 💕☕🍂🍃💐

[@hildamclawhorm6305]

I always prepare extra for almost every meal so we have left overs 😊

[@annaf2211]

Haha that’s so funny, my son Mason is turning 2 in a couple of days and he also LOVES his dads truck, and also says truck in a low voice 😂 also rock and saw, it’s the cutest thing 🥰

[@teresamartin7576]

Blending two kinds of apples for sauce is popular now and so good. Many apples compliment each other. This fall I used Honey Crisp, seconds, and Ginger Gold. Yum,

[@giuseppinasmith2022]

What a beautiful intro 💛

[@cathyb6358]

When you mentioned planning your week on Sundays, I thought I really should do that or select a day to do that.

[@susananderson1071]

You're such a good mom. The applesauce looked great.

[@lindasanderson4829]

Happy birthday Miller!!! 🎂🎈🙂

[@barbarageorge8984]

Barbara George I find it helps to plan one dish to take to invitations during December: you stock up on the ingredients, become familiar with the recipe, and don’t need to think about it. I change it every year.

[@thebirdisblue]

I don't live far from Worchestershire in the UK. I didn't really Worchestershire sauce was available in other countries. We pronounce it 'Woost-er-sure' sauce. English place names make little sense. Also I was so exited to see that the cake recipe happens to be vegan, it looks delicious

[@micahroyster4502]

Can't wait to watch this Megan! Also I made your pumpkin bread recipe last Saturday and it's definitely going to be a staple in my fall recipes 😊

[@MeganFoxUnlocked]

It's so good! So glad you trusted me and made it!

[@micahroyster4502]

@MeganFoxUnlocked I am too! 😂😊

[@sandersonjths]

Your videos keep getting better and better Megan! You inspire me ❤️

[@sable747]

Whoa. This video was perfect timing to remind us to pause and plan before responding to the busy and noisy pressure of the world. I am constantly feeling behind and we went out of town this weekend, but listening to this after carpool helped me prioritize some weekly planning rather than flying by the seat of my pants! Thank you! 😂

[@andrewmichels7804]

Can’t wait to visit this area. Had a bus trip planned in October with girlfriends but it got cancelled. Next year❤

[@melc632]

I love your dress. So beautiful

[@candacelayman6043]

Your lunch looks delicious! My husband and I like to cook enough for two meals😊

[@Moonbeams_SweetDreams]

Thank you for the tips, Megan!

[@TheChosen761]

You inspire me to start baking !!! I tried the pumpkin whipped cream for my coffee and it was amazing!!! Loved it so much

[@MeganFoxUnlocked]

Aww that's cool! Glad to hear the feedback!

[@mrsbethanyelise]

I'm in school and am gone during lunchtime, so i make a big double batch of egg fried rice for Monday and Wednesday lunch, so it's easy for my husband to reheat for our kids! Scrambled eggs make a good quick option for Tuesday and Thursday lunches too.

[@all4him2008]

I love all the tips- especially hosting a get together between now and new years. You’ve inspired me! What do you mix together for your Ranch veggie dip?

[@yotagerlie]

@MEGAN, I LOVED THIS VIDEO! SO MUCH. IN A WORLD FULL OF TURMOIL AND HATRED.. YOUR CHANNEL IS COMFORT. WHOLESOME. WHAT I DREAM EVERY FAMILY CAN HAVE. TRUE UNDYING LOVE IN ABUNDANCE.

[@SihleMasukela]

I enjoyed this video. It was quite helpful- I can’t really pick one favourite tip -some were sweet reminders and others were new things ima think about implementing in my home moving forward 😊 thanks

[@MeganFoxUnlocked]

So glad! I was hoping it would be not just entertaining, but also food for thought!

[@commanderthorne3485]

Be careful standing on that table 😍

Such a beautiful video Megan. Thank you for sharing your beautiful family with us and encouraging all us mamas. 💖

[@aprilh5186]

This was a great video and I can't wait to try those recipes! I also completely agree...prepare yourself for those 3 year olds!

[@MamaRosie1117]

Love all this advice! And a candle in all foods on the birthday is a great tradition! Also, my mom used to make this chocolate cake but she called it "There's Someone Coming Up the Lane Cake" 😅😍🎂

Thank You Megan - for sharing some of your sweet family moments with us all - You gave us some great life tips - Thank You Again

[@SD-qu8vp]

Those Burger packages looked fun. I am actually hosting on December 10th and might make those. Easy to prep and fun. Not known in Germany, so not a conviniece but something special 😊

[@MeganFoxUnlocked]

Well that will be fun. I always love introducing my friends to something new!

[@jeney4]

Fun to watch you guys off the cuff in a Q&A. Btw when I take a break to destress I drive around blaring praise music mostly 😂 grab a treat and come back better. Such a relief.

[@nancyduffer1808]

To everything there is a season...ahhhh, that sweet bible verse is so true, just watching your family raking and the children playing in the leaves took me back to when my two who are now nearing 50 played ,ran and laughed in the leaves also 😢. Savor those wonderful moments 😂

[@degibb10]

Awe, Miller was so cute with his birthday cake! Absolutely loved this video. I’m so jealous of all the apples you guys have close by. We don’t have anything like that where I live in Utah.

[@evawood9655]

I shopped Azure and had organic storage apples!!! Loved making apple butter and dried slices, too...

[@janh519]

Pennsylvania and Ohio are great states for growing apples and there are also other states nearby that grow fine apples, too. 🍎 🍏🍎

[@ginger1549]

Your family is just lovely. So good that you recognize and appreciate their specialness. Happy Birthday, Miller!!! That 2 years went by very fast. When is your baby due?

[@MeganFoxUnlocked]

So fast! February!

[@jeanette9899]

Megan, I have a little girl, really close to Miller’s age (11/5/21) And I’m due again in January! We are on similar schedules 😅🥰
